LUX Secrets from the Vault

The Art of Becoming ✨ To the ones rebuilding themselves quietly… this is for you. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not “less than” because your path looked different than someone else’s. Every version of you survived something to get here. The tired version. The heartbroken version. The insecure version. The version that kept showing up anyway. That matters. You do not need permission to become the person you dream about at night. You are allowed to evolve. Y

If you’ve ever felt like you needed to downplay your success because someone helped you along the way, this is for you.

One of the biggest mistakes I see, even in experienced dancers, is rushing. Rushing into tricks. Rushing through transitions. Rushing past the details that really matter. It’s completely normal. Most people are focused on getting to the next level, the next trick, the next milestone. But the dancers who truly become powerful are the ones who slow down. When you slow down, you build: • stronger engagement • cleaner transitions • better balance and stability • deeper body aware

One of the most powerful things you can bring into your dancing has nothing to do with tricks, flexibility, or strength. It is intention. Before a single movement happens, before your hands touch the pole or your feet leave the floor, there is a question I always come back to. What am I here to say? Storytelling in dance is not about acting out something dramatic or having a complicated concept. It is about clarity. It is about knowing why you are moving the way you are movin

Stage Presence 101: Owning Your Moment on Stage When it comes to dancing on stage, whether in a strip club environment or at a performance venue, confidence is everything. The second you step onto that stage, you’re making a statement. Just like a firm handshake and eye contact can leave a lasting impression, so can the energy you bring from the moment your heel touches the floor. 1. Confidence is Your Foundation Confidence isn’t about being perfect, it’s about owning who you

So, you want to command the stage? Not just perform, but own the moment, captivate the crowd, and leave them talking long after the lights di So, you want to command the stage? Not just perform, but own the moment , captivate the crowd, and leave them talking long after the lights dim? Here’s the thing: being sexy isn’t enough. We’re all sexy. It’s part of the job description. What really makes you unforgettable is your presence , the thing that makes people feel something w

Hey loves 💖 Since so many of you are performers (or aspiring performers!), I want to share some tips on how to submit your act to a show in the most professional way possible. When I put out a Call for Performers for LUX Pole Cabaret, here’s exactly what I ask for, and it’s a good checklist to follow no matter who you’re submitting to: 1. 🎶 Song Choice(s) — What track are you planning to use? (Have backups if your first pick is taken, or send in more options!) 2. 👗 Costume

After a sweaty workout, your skin needs rehydration just as much as your body does, and the Skin Script Mint Refining Toner or Cucumber Hydration Toner (MY FAVE) is the perfect reset. This refreshing mist restores moisture, balances oils, and soothes overheated or flushed skin so you can leave pole class or the gym glowing & hydrated. The cooling cucumber calms redness and irritation, while the probiotic support helps rebalance your skin’s barrier and keep post-workout break

When I first started performing, I thought being confident on stage meant feeling fearless. I thought every move had to be perfect and every audience would cheer like crazy. Over the years and many stages later, I realized performing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up anyway. Here are three lessons that changed everything for me. 1. Stage Confidence Isn’t a Feeling, It’s a Choice You don’t magically wake up one day feeling confident. Confidence doesn’t show up

Hey loves, I wanted to share something that’s been on my mind lately: the way pole, mental health, and skincare all tie together. Sounds like three totally different things, right? But honestly they’re more connected than we think. Pole as Therapy (Without the Couch) There’s nothing like climbing that pole, hitting a move you’ve been fighting for, or just letting yourself freestyle to a song that hits your soul. It’s physical, yes, but it’s also emotional release. Every spin,

Hey loves 💫 Let’s talk about something almost every pole dancer goes through: that frustrating feeling of feeling stuck. You’re practicing, showing up, maybe even bruising up your shins and burning your inner thighs, and still, that one trick won’t click. Or your combo looks choppy. Or you can’t figure out why your grip fails halfway through. Guess what? That doesn’t mean you’re not progressing. It means you’re building. And understanding how progression works in pole dancin

Hey babes, I’ve been deep in the creative zone working on my new workshop: The Art of Commanding the Stage. This one’s close to my heart because it covers so much of what makes a performance truly come alive, especially the magic that happens when costume and music connect to tell a story. Costuming used to be so hard for me. It took time to learn how to express the emotion of a song through what I wore on stage, but once it clicked, everything changed. I hope this post inspi

The pole journey is not a straight line, it curves, loops, dips, and sometimes spirals when you least expect it. But that’s part of the beauty. You’re not just training moves, you’re carving a path that’s uniquely yours. If you’re feeling unsure or uninspired, start with the music. Find a song that moves you, that feeds your soul, not just what’s trending or technical. Let that track hit your heart first. Then, create from that place. Let your movement be an emotional respons
